Dangerously delusional: Singer R Kelly lost his composure during a CBS interview and stood up in a fit of emotion, towering over the interviewer, Gayle King

Embattled singer Robert ‘R’ Kelly in a wild scene accused the parents of the two young women he is accused of holding against their will of human trafficking. He accused them of  ‘selling’ their daughters to him when they were underage.
In full meltdown mode during an explosive interview with CBS, Kelly yelled, cried and protested his innocence on child rape charges.
Kelly, 52, shouted, screamed and at times spoke directly to the camera while being interviewed by Gayle King for CBS News.

At one point in their interview, Kelly had to be restrained by his publicist and he cried several times. He agreed to speak out to tell ‘the truth’ in light of his recent indictment on child sexual abuse charges which came after a docu-series laid bare the turmoil of the families of the two women he still lives with.

Azriel Clary, 21, [left] and Joycelyn Savage, 23, [right] came out in support of Kelly on. The women said  their parents, who have been publicly fighting for them to come home, are lying.

The singer  said he was trying to save his relationship with his children which had been destroyed by the allegations against him. He claims all of the dozens of people who have spoken out against him are lying because they want money from him.

Azriel Clary, 21,  and Joycelyn Savage, 23, also gave an interview that will air on Friday where they defend the singer and say their parents, who have been publicly fighting for them to come home, are lying.
Their parents and others who know Kelly say they have been brainwashed.
Wednesday, the interviewer Gayle King asked Kelly: ‘What kind of love is it that keeps these young women away from their families?’
He gave the shocking answer: ‘I’m going answer your question — what kind of father, what kind of mother would sell their daughter to a man?’

Stunned, King asked: ‘How come it was okay for me to see them until they wasn’t getting no money from me?
‘Why would you take your daughter — if I were going to take my daughter and she’s 19 years old to a 49-year-old icon whatever, celebrity, R. Kelly concert, whoever it is, I’m not going to put her on the stage and leave her.
‘I’m going to take her to the concert. Their father is more into my music and knew about my music than they do,’ he said.King pushed on: ‘You’re saying the parents handed their daughters, Azriel and Jocelyn, over you to? That’s what you’re saying?’
He replied: ‘Absolutely. Are the cameras still going? Absolutely.’
Elsewhere in the interview, Kelly denied having sex with underage girls and said he never focused on how much younger than him his girlfriends are, just that they are ‘legal’.

Kelly lost his composure elsewhere during the interview and stood up in a fit of emotion, towering over Gayle King whle confirming that he had a Lolita complex

At one stage in the interview, he had to be restrained by his publicist and then take a break

Once back in his chair, Kelly continued to rant into the camera but was redirected by King who told him: ‘We have to have a conversation. I do not want you ranting into the camera, Robert.’
Kelly’s stance is that all of his accusers and their parents are lying.
‘They’re lying on me…You can start a rumor about a guy like me or a celebrity just like that.
‘All you have to do is press a button on your phone and say, “so and so did this to me. R Kelly did this to me.”
‘If you get any traction from that, if you are able to write a book from that, if you can get a reality show then any girl that I had a relationship with in the past that it just didn’t work out, she can come and say the same exact thing.
‘I’m talking about the power of social media,’ he said.
He believes that they are financially motivated and that their stories have been fed by social media.

He also thinks prosecutors are eager to put him behind bars after failing to convict him on child pornography charges in 2008.
‘How stupid would it be for R. Kelly, with all I’ve been through in my way, way past, to hold somebody, let alone 4, 5, 6, 50, you said – how stupid would I be to do that?’
‘That’s stupid! Use your common sense. Forget the blogs, forget how you feel about me.
‘Hate me if you want to, love me if you want. But just use your common sense.
‘How stupid would it be for me, with my crazy past and what I’ve been through – oh right now I just think I need to be a monster and hold girls against their will, chain them up in my basement, and don’t let them eat, don’t let them out, unless they need some shoes down the street from their uncle!’ he said.

He said he is no longer fighting for his career (but still wants people to buy his music) and is now desperate to salvage his relationship with his children.
In an unhinged monologue to the camera where he stood up, screamed and had to be restrained, he said: ‘Quit playing, I didn’t do this stuff.
‘This is not me. I’m fighting for my f*****g life! Y’all killing me with this s**t! I’ve given you 30 years of my f****g career! 30 years of my career! Y’all trying to kill me! You’re killing me man!
This is not about music! I’m trying to have a relationship with my kids and I can’t do it! Y’all just don’t want to believe the truth . Y’all don’t want to believe it.’
King, who has been applauded for his composed demeanor and tough line of questioning during his outburst and throughout the interview, remained seated, encouraging him to calm down.

Prosecutors say Kelly’s  alleged victims include a teenager he met when she sought an autograph during his 2008 trial on child pornography charges, another he met at her 16th-birthday party and his hairdresser, who was then 24. 

After a brief pause, he continued back in his chair: ‘This is not true!
It doesn’t even make sense!
‘Why would I hold all these women! Their mothers and fathers told me, “We’re going to destroy your career.”‘
‘There’s real girls out there missing, there’s real young girls out there being abducted, being raped, OK. They really are on chains. They really do have chains on their wrists.
‘And they can’t get out and they ending up buried,’ he said.
King, redirecting him, said she was not going to allow him to ‘rant into the camera.’
‘I came here for them to hear me talk!’ he protested, adding: ‘I need help.
‘I need somebody to help me not have such a big heart. Because my heart is so big people betray me and I keep forgiving em,’ he cried.
King, without missing a beat, told him he sounded like he was ‘playing the victim.’
